Author: A certain purple doesn’t eat coriander

Li Shengxuan asked: "Do you know why I transferred Wu Sheng to the Ministry of Punishment to revise the law?"

Just as Fang Zilan was about to speak, Li Shengxuan said: "Partly because he has ideas, and partly because he is Mr. Su Heng's disciple."

A trace of astonishment flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, and Li Shengxuan sighed, "Even with me behind his back, Zhuge Yu's reform of officialdom is still hindered, and he still needs a respected elder in the court to stand by his side and support him. Boss Zhuge

People naturally want to avoid suspicion. My original intention was to ask Mr. Su Heng to return to the capital to take up a post. However, due to the late emperor's decree and the fact that Mr. Su Heng was quite disheartened when he was demoted, it would be inappropriate to invite him back rashly. Therefore, I would like to ask him to return to Beijing.

I will take Wu Sheng as an opportunity to express my determination to govern the world to Mr. Su Heng and the people of the world, and it will not be too late to invite him back."

"But now Mr. Wu Sheng..." Fang Zilan's voice was almost inaudible. She did not expect that Li Shengxuan had such intentions behind Wu Sheng's transfer to the Criminal Department. It seems that Wu Sheng's death was not necessarily caused only by her.

"I ordered someone to check and found that Wu Sheng is Mr. Su Heng's only disciple in the capital." Li Shengxuan looked complicated, "I must give an explanation to Mr. Su Heng and everyone in the world. Do you understand?"

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked: "How is Your Majesty going to explain this?"

Li Shengxuan remained silent, while Fang Zilan clenched her hands in her sleeves into fists and gritted her teeth: "Then who can give an explanation to Mr. Yang Zhiqing and his family?"

Although she had been living in confusion these past few days, she still took Xiao Xuan'er's words to some extent. She knew that it was widely spread in the capital that Yang Zhiqing had not been promoted for many years, and because he was jealous of Wu Sheng being transferred to the Criminal Department, he paid for the murder. Later, because of

The clues in the letter were exposed. In order not to drag down the whole family, he committed suicide in front of Yin's house in Jingzhao in fear of crime.

After the incident spread, everyone in the capital reviled Yang Zhiqing. Every day in front of his house, people shouted and threw stones, disturbing the whole family.

It seems that everyone has lost their memory. No one remembers that Yang Zhiqing was a parent officer who had guarded the smog-infested southeast for eight years. He also received a Ten Thousand People Umbrella when he left office.

They only remembered that Yang Zhiqing was jealous of murderers, cruel and petty, and was not worthy of being an official at all.

As for Wu Sheng, he became the most innocent victim and was beautified infinitely. He was a disciple of Mr. Su Heng, so talented and well-mannered... Everyone who knew him or not knew him was full of praise and regret, as if he was a young man.

Losing him would be a huge loss to the imperial court.

When a person dies, he can only be guided by others. Can't he even keep his name after death?

Fang Zilan looked steadily at the person in front of her, her eyes flushed with excitement. She suppressed her emotions and said word by word: "Master Yang Zhiqing died in an unknown manner. Your Majesty did not order anyone to investigate the truth, but instead used his death to

Are you here to silence everyone?"

"Fang Zilan, if you are willing to tell everything you know, why would you do this?" Li Shengxuan's voice was full of forbearance, "What kind of existence is the ghost gate?"

Fang Zilan's expression froze, and then she raised the corners of her lips as if she was relieved, "Your Majesty knows that the death of the two adults is related to the ghost sect. It seems that the Zhuge family has found out."

Her expression returned to calmness, and Li Shengxuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to be so calm.

"Ghost Gate, as the name suggests, is the place where lonely souls and wild ghosts live." Fang Zilan said quietly: "Who in the world can be called a lonely soul and wild ghost, I think your majesty should know it."

"Shameless old people from the previous dynasty." Li Shengxuan continued, and Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "Although Emperor Tai'an granted a general amnesty to the world when he came to the throne, many old people from the previous dynasty were not held accountable and were even entrusted with important tasks. However, when the dynasty changed,

The seeds of hatred have been sown. As time goes by, not only have they not disappeared, but they have gradually grown and cannot be ignored."

She paused as she spoke, "In the past, the Gui Sect only roamed the world. It was the most famous killer organization after Miluo Tianying and Baiyue Trial Hall."

Li Shengxuan was silent for a moment and then said: "Miluo Tianying and Baiyue Trial Hall have all interfered in the political situation and caused shock in the court. Does Gui Sect want to follow in their footsteps?"

"Your Majesty is only half right." Fang Zilan took a deep breath and said: "Even if you intervene in the political situation, there are differences. Miluo Tianying protected the high priest during the Three Kings War a hundred years ago, maintaining Yancheng Villa, and waiting for Hai Qinghe

Empress Yan disappeared. At the Baiyue Trial Hall, she killed famous officials and the Xie family, severely damaged the generals who protected the country, and stirred up a bloody storm in Baiyue, which was eventually destroyed by the Xia family's army."

It seemed that everything was back to square one, Ouyang Zirou was still standing at the forefront of the storm, and the courtiers were arguing endlessly, seemingly not taking Li Shengxuan's will to heart at all.

In order to maintain superficial intimacy with Ouyang Zirou, the Ouyang family had no choice but to obstruct it secretly. Under the instruction of the Ouyang family and the Pei family, the Yushitai was the loudest, like a group of clowns. Su Yun neither wanted to participate nor could

He stayed out of the incident and only caused trouble. Zhuge Yu watched with cold eyes and took the opportunity to judge whether it was feasible to allow women to enter the court.

Wang Quanrui of the Ministry of Rites was a double-dealer. On the one hand, he was hindered by Pei's agreement with the censors, but on the other hand, he was wise enough to protect himself and could not speak. He was like a turtle with a shrunken head, poking and moving, leaving people helpless.

Although the Punishment Department, which supported the Queen Mother and the Dugu family, was able to step forward, it was ultimately weak. In addition, there were many twists and turns in revising the law in the past, and the people in the Punishment Department were easily ridiculed by other people in the court whenever they opened their mouths.

Dare to stand out in particular.

Fang Zilan knew that Li Shengxuan had a good idea and that the matter would be decided sooner or later, so he simply stopped asking for permission to enter the court, so as not to get any benefit from the daily bickering and getting angry for nothing.

Therefore, only Ouyang Zirou was the most dedicated. She would kneel outside the palace gate every day before dawn holding the imperial edict, attracting the attention of the people passing by. For a while, there was no doubt in the capital about whether Ouyang Zirou should take over the armory.

There was a lot of discussion.

In the teahouses and restaurants on the streets, people who know something, those who don't know it, and people who are well-founded and hearsay, as long as they are able to talk, all have to add a few sentences, and even those who can't speak, they have to make some gestures.

The whole capital was extremely lively, but Li Shengxuan in the Qiankun Palace remained calm. He knew that this matter could not be solved by an imperial edict, and that it would only be possible if God's will and the people's support came to pass. He represented God's will, and he represented the people's support...

Fang Zilan is considered one, but she alone is not enough. If Ouyang Zirou's name is to be justified, and women can enter the court regardless of their status in the future, then women cannot just have the final say, but men must also speak out for it.

The world is never just for one person. As a king, it is possible to check and balance power, but after all, it is a mirage that does not last long. If you want peace and prosperity, you must win the support of the people.
